5 Spring Cleaning Tips For Viking Appliances


5 Spring Cleaning Tips For Viking Appliances

It is going to be springtime before you know it and spring cleaning will be on your mind.   Once you begin to think about cleaning your home, you may want to add cleaning your Viking appliances to your to-do list.  Here are a few simple tips to help you get your Viking appliances sparkling clean again. 

Start cleaning your Viking appliances by doing a quick wipe down.  The best way to do this is to mix two tablespoons of baking soda with one quart of warm water.  This solution will clean about anything in your home and will make all your appliances shine as good as new.  If you have hard dry food stuck in your refrigerator for example you can pour this solution into the bins and let it sit for a while.  Much of the hard scrubbing work will be made easier as the solution will break down the hard dry food particles from the bins.  Once this solution has been in your refrigerator for around 30 minutes you will be able to wipe the entire refrigerator out with ease. 
If your Viking refrigerator has an odor that you cannot get rid of, place a brown paper grocery bag inside the bins for a period of 48 hours.  You will be surprised that the horrible odors will disappear as a result of this little spring cleaning tip.

White appliances are quite popular these days but many times these bright white appliances can become dingy and yellow.  If this happens to your white Viking appliances you can mix ½ cup bleach, ¼ cup baking soda with 4 cups warm water.  Apply this mixture to your white Viking appliances and leave it there for a matter of 10 minutes.  Next you will need to rinse the solution off your appliances and dry them thoroughly.  All the nasty yellow stains should be gone after you go through this process.

You may think that your Viking dishwasher is clean because it is cleaning your dishes each day.  This is partially true, but you still need to clean your dishwasher at least one time a year.  One tip for cleaning your dishwasher is to deodorize the machine by placing a bowl of vinegar in the top rack and running it through a wash cycle.  Also you can remove any food or debris from the drain in the bottom of your washer. 

Do you want to clean your microwave while you’re scrubbing down your appliances? Start with a bowl of water in the microwave.  All you will need to do is turn the machine on and microwave it until it boils.  You will be amazed at how easily that dry stuck on food will wipe away after doing this simple step!

Your Viking oven can be easily cleaned by using the self-cleaning mechanism that is in most ovens. Once your oven is cleaned in this manner, you should be able to keep it clean year round by simply wiping it down each time you use it. 

Hopefully these tips will get you well on your way to spring cleaning your home and Viking appliances.
